MIN_NLPDJ_FILTERED_PPM option

Function

Constrains the join algorithm choices available to the optimizer under certain circumstances.

Allowed values

UNSIGNED INT1 – 1,000,000

Default

2500

Scope

Can be set temporary, for a user, or for the PUBLIC group. Takes effect immediately.

Description

Specifies the minimum percentage of rows that must remain after all simple local predicates (expressed in parts-per-million) before the optimizer will consider using the nested-loop push-down join (NLPDJ) algorithm. The default is equivalent to a selectivity of 0.0025, or one quarter of one percent of the table.

This option only affects the optimizer when the target table is very large. Under normal circumstances, you should not need to change this option.
